The app also offers options to watch for free with ads, as well as episodes updated quickly after their original airing in Korea. And of course, Portuguese subtitles are available for most content.

If you're the type who watches three dramas at once (who hasn't?), Viki might be your safe haven. But if you're looking for exclusivity or fast releases, Kocowa might win your heart.

The truth is, regardless of the platform, the important thing is to watch with quality, subtitles, and comfort.

They're part of who we are, what we feel, what we believe.
